One day in summer, little Jack was playing on the beach with his father. Suddenly, he saw a little Tortoise moving slowly on the sand. He started to look at it carefully and began to touch it with his hand. To his surprise, the tortoise stopped moving. It pulled in its head and legs, and closed its shell tightly. He touched it again but the tortoise didn't move at all. Jack became angry. He used a stick and tried to force(强迫) it to open.

When his father saw this, he stopped him and said, "No, son, you mustn't do that! You will kill the tortoise. You won't get it open with a stick." Jack was curious and asked,

"Why?"

"Just wait and see," his father replied. Then he picked up the tortoise and put it into a bag.

Stephen Hawking, a world famous British physicist, will write a children's book with his daughter. Hawking said the book would be "a bit like Harry Potter" but without the magic. "It explains the wonders of the universe, " said Hawking, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong last week.

Hawking, 64, is probably the world's most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe.

"My goal is simple, " Hawking once said. "It is to completely understand the universe, why it is  and why it is there at all."

Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking.

Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer's mouse. He selects his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer (音响合成器).

"I have had the disease for most of my life, " Hawking once said. "Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work."

Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He has received many awards and prizes for his work over the years. This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award. It is the highest achievement in theoretical physics.

The illness keeps him from moving and talking. C. He communicates with others by speaking. D. The illness prevented him from being successful.
